About BBQGurus

Two friends, one fire

Martijn and Gerard have been standing at the fire together for years. What started with a burger in the back garden grew into complete evenings — bruschetta rounds, roulades off the plank, core temperatures to the degree. And with every evening came more questions: could you do this for us too? So often that it became a plan. That plan is called BBQGurus.

Great individual recipes are everywhere. But nobody tells you how to turn them into a whole evening: what you can already do on Thursday, which order to grill in, and how much you really need to buy for twenty guests. For a friend's summer party we wrote it all out, once — menu, a run sheet per day, base preparations and shopping lists that add up to the last skewer. The result: an evening without stress, and a host who could simply sit with his guests.

That run sheet went down so well it became a service. BBQGurus turns every BBQ evening into an Experience: ready-made Experience Guides per evening, a tailor-made Experience for your guests and your grill, an orderable package with the meat and the rub, and gurus at home for anyone who wants the whole evening taken off their hands. The recipes are open to everyone — mark your favourites, and the community decides what belongs in the next Guide.

Everything that can be done ahead is prepped, day by day. On the night itself, all that's left is the grilling.

With a nod to our great inspirations BBQ-Helden and BBQ Junkie — the gentlemen who showed us how high the bar can be.
